Looks like ~4000IU a week is plenty, even with no sunlight exposure.
You’re looking at like 13x the recommended intake; that’s going to screw up your calcium levels eventually. And the stuff is cumulative, it’s not like eg. vitamin C, which is gone from your system a day later.
My very strong advice would be don’t.
If you’ve got a massive deficiency, follow medical advice.
It is for some people. I currently need to take 100k iu/week in order to be on the low end of normal.
I was on 150k iu, but I had to switch doctors. The new idiot didn’t believe me and just told me take an OTC pill a day.
I left that guy. The next time I got checked, I was in the single digits. The new one didn’t really believe me either. Each winter visit I’ve been low and she just keeps adding another pill. I suspect I’ll be back up to 150k then.
Why the hell would you do that?

If you haven’t, then quit fucking with it.
